Keep in mind the importance of the daily closing remaining above 1.2915 to maintain chances of resuming expectations. eur

USDJPY
The pair stabilized above yesterday’s breached resistance level – currently turning into support at 84.65 – with clear overbought signs appearing through momentum indicators, where we think will force the pair to attempt some bearish movement to retest the breached level. This is then followed by a bullish rebound that the pair will achieve through it an expected bullish intraday trend.

USDCHF
The pair is trading within a narrow range since yesterday, where it is facing difficulties in reaching the awaited resistance level at 1.0085. The stochastic is negatively pressuring the pair, thus supporting expectations regarding achieving a bearish intraday direction, alongside SMA 50 forming resistance for the bearish wave that is organizing within the descending channel shown below. Keep in mind that the pair built a base above 1.0085 that may postpone resuming the awaited downside movement for today and leading towards visiting the resistance level for the descending channel around 1.0215.chf

USDCAD
The pair was able to relieve momentum appearing on Stochastic yesterday, currently trading near from pivotal support 1.0245 shown in the chart below. The present bullish momentum could push the pair to retest the previously breached 1.3045, meeting with SMA 50 and thus adding strength to this resistance. Therefore, we expect a bearish reversal from this level so the pair may achieve the expected bearish intraday direction in overall trading today. Its key targets are at 1.0215 then 1.0105, but note the importance of building a base below 1.0345 to maintain chances of expectations continuing.cad
